FBI Chaos
Comey tweeted “sadly, we are now at a point in our political life when anyone can be attacked for partisan gain. James Baker, who is stepping down as FBI General Counsel, served our country incredibly well for 25 years & deserves better. He is what we should all want our public servants to be.”
The department found themselves in a spot of bother. Present and former leaders cited varying issues plaguing the agency.
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said the Trump administration was giving him a hard time. When Trump had assigned Wray, he assured him freedom to work.
Trump said “I know that he will again serve his Country as a fierce guardian of the law and model of integrity.”
James F. Yacone, a former senior F.B.I. official said “he’s got to be the top cover for the agency.” “He’s the chief fact collector, and he has to avoid being politicized. He has a difficult job,” he continued.
The constant tweets had made life difficult for Wray, but there was no let up from Trump.
Trump tweeted “after years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters – worst in History! But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness.”
